Met1985 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Big time rain,wind,and lightning! We had about 2 inches from that line. Heavy heavy wind whipped rain also and constant lightning. Wind was 30+, and washed our drive way out and also brought down some small branches and knocked the power out for a short period of time. Crazy storms. Exciting but crazy.

calculus1 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 What a month for rainfall! It was quite warm in July, but the rainfall balanced it out for me. It's hard to believe that I saw rainfall on almost two thirds of the days in July! So atypical for recent times. I had a chance at seven inches of rainfall yesterday, but the storm only dropped 0.43 inch. So, I finished just shy of seven inches of rainfall for the month. Here are the stats from my PWS for the month: Final July Stats: Hi Temp: 102.1 F (on 7/01) Hi Temp Above 90: 24 days Lo Temp: 64.5 F (on 7/06) Lo Temp Above 70: 8 days Mean Temp: 77.8 F Hi Wind Gust: 18.0 mph (on 7/03) Total Rainfall: 6.89 in (measured rainfall > 0.01 in on 17 different days) Wettest Day: 1.50 in (on 7/10) Rainfall for Year: 29.66 in (Jan - July) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 July was just a terrible month in the rainfall department here. 1.23" was our total which makes it the driest month of 2012 so far. It's pretty funny how July was so dry for me while everyone else got hammered. I did a little research on CoCoRaHS about how bad I got screwed during July. Here's what I found... Station 2 miles to my south- 3.47" in July Station 2 miles to my southwest- 3.55" in July Me- 1.23" in July 2012 so far- 20.18" I really hope August is wetter!

Sounds like those 2 stations near you got screwed too. 3.47" and 3.55" are low totals for July. I think average rainfall in July is between 5 and 6".

I've put the moles on getting us a hurricane. If it works, then this will be a glorious winter, lol. Meanwhile, I'm back to watering daily, to keep the garden going, but I'm shocked at the dead trees and bushes around the property. I've had way more rain than you in July, but getting it all in two days, apparently isn't the way to go T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Worst lightning storm in recent memory here in Wilkes ongoing. Rainfall rates 2-3 inches per hour.

Mencken_Fan Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I wanted to Share these cool Pics from this Months Earlier Seaver Storms going on in Brunswick County..Taken through the trees these Storms/Clouds were in another County..(I mean the Storm itself was in another county) They were more "dramatic" looking before I grabbed the Camera to take a couple shots.. They were Roiling & boiling up above Me, seriously these shots do what I saw, no Justus... Similar clouds to what you saw from a distance were directly over me; they were much more "squarish polygons" with sharp, icy boundaries. It was a totally jaw-dropping sight...and then they turned into this: (my camera is broken but after scouring the net have found this to be the best facsimile.)

Shawn Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Radar looks okay coming off the coast for my central SC bretheren. I'm heading to the lake today so you can almost bank on some form of rain later on today! (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
